In case you are scraping the bottom of the barrel

I suppose a lot of this is in how the corpie PCs are played. But the social scene up there could stand to have some GM attention and fleshing-out.

Make something that will make people want to come to GREEN instead of just Cordoba Mallplex and Grunen's.

Maybe a giant grid/NLM terminal place like....the huge Apple store cube in NYC, or something.

Or a research place with tons of know-it-alls. Or maybe a place where you can pull up a copy of pretty much any item in the game even if it's way too expensive for you ever to buy, and get info on it. Like how many rounds in a clip, or what type of ammo it takes, or if you can lift it with your current stats, or if you can bolt a security system into a car with your current stats. That would actually be pretty useful for not getting to a critical part in a plan and being like "well fuck I guess I can't do that".

Or, I mean, you could put a park.

Or you could make it a corporation trying to spy on certain people. See who could keep from getting their picture taken the longest or something.

----------------------------------------------------

Recall all of a certain object in the city. Or put out something defective and wait until people have a lot of it, then issue the recall after it starts malfunctioning. People would still try to hang on to a lot of these things but with the right incentive it could be a good way to generate outcry from the populace. I'm thinking of when all players with WJF armor not part of the WJF were forced to give it up.

More ideas. These are examples of something (even though silly) which could be GM-run in order to guide the players into all doing a specific something for testing purposes or to flesh out some part of the game that needs fleshing.

1) mass exodus to the space station, enforced by the law. On the way out make sure to use Afterthoughts (who the fuck uses that now?). See if you can make characters think "I wonder what impression my character has made or what is still unresolved". Might help them hit the ground running with new direction when they are dumped back into the city.

2) some city inspector-type guy who goes around smelling people and writing up stuff on them. This is pretty dumb but I mean...you could help by checking for people who smell like sewers, trash cans, or don't have their @smell message set. It's a little thing.

3) trap everybody in a new room and see what ways they can think of to break out of it. Call it fool-proofing.

had another idea along this line but the caffeine is wearing off...

If you want my honest opinion you do more harm then good around here and that has been constant for some time.
And yes, I allready predict your response will be something like a "n0 u!" because that small clique of characters that you talk on aim/IRL with outside the game both hate me because I was mean to them with my character along time ago and you all wish to come to conclusions on things you know nothing about. It's fun. Especially when you all try and stir up this shit on the boards and OOC chat because there is an issue and instead of reporting it it's straight to slander. Almost all of your arguments are trivial at best, and are usually based on contempt that you are not the winner of SD. If your sidekick there would learn to keep IC and stop doing the same things, then they wouldn't be where they're at either. But you know this. It has been discussed with you in private, there are logs and notes etc etc. You know this as well, since you used to be a GM and got fired for being an assclown. I'm tired of listening to it and seeing it.

But let's not get off topic :)
